The theme of this week’s podcast is “Big Ideas”. We need big ideas to accompany mystical insights in order to consciously embrace the developmental implications of what these insights reveal to us about the human experience and life as a whole.

Meditation+Evolution Podcast: The Nature of Spirit is Absolute
by Blake Ludwig → No Comments
For this week’s podcast we present a far-reaching inquiry into the different absolute dimensions of Spirit, ranging between an examination of THE postmodern existential problem of being itself, the definition of non-duality, and the evolution of enlightenment.

Meditation+Evolution Podcast: A Natural State of Calm Abiding
by Blake Ludwig → No Comments
On last Tuesday’s Meditation+Evolution session, Patrick encouraged us after a period of meditation to explore how the experience was and if we had any other questions about it. In this podcast a young woman is explaining that her problem was attachment to wanting things to be a certain way – and this opened up a fascinating inquiry into what meditation is and how sitting still really is the process of becoming more conscious.

A weekly source of Inspiration

The following was submitted by Sonia Davidson:
The Meditation&Evolution meetups on Tuesdays at EnlightenNext in Islington really are enlightening! I attend as many as I can as we are in the midst of a 20-week course based on Spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen’s Being & Becoming retreat held in Tuscany last August. After spending 10 sessions on ‘Being’ we are now exploring the ‘Becoming’ dimension of Evolutionary Enlightenment which is about awakening to Spirit as the evolutionary impulse. [Read more →]

Meditation+Evolution Podcast – Consciousness and Cosmos
by Blake Ludwig → No Comments
How would a scientist prove or disprove the existence of God? What could they possibly be looking for? Bernard Carr and Chris Parish held a public dialogue late last year at EnlightenNext titled “Consciousness and Cosmos”.
Having traversed widely differing pathways, Carr and Parish draw on their insights borne of a lifetime of enquiry. Parish is a committed life-long practitioner of enlightenment, expert Enlightened Communication facilitator, and director of EnlightenNext in the UK. Carr is a professor of mathematics and astronomy at Queen Mary, University of London, Chair of the Scientific and Medical Network, and former President of the Society for Psychical Research.
You can read an editorial that Carr has written for the Scientific and Medical Network about the evening’s dialogue, which he titled Cosmic Conversation.
You can also listen to a podcast produced from the conversation on the evening.

Meditation+Evolution Podcast – Discovering a Source of Uncorrupted Motivation
by Blake Ludwig → No Comments
A very big part of the transformational process, from the perspective of evolutionary enlightenment, is going back to before the beginning and discovering a source of pure motivation that is uncorrupted by ego. In this week’s podcast from the Tuesday Meditation+Evolution evenings at EnlightenNext we hear from Andrew Cohen introducing the subject, and from Patrick Bryson as he tackles questions ranging from the true nature of intuition and motivation, a victimised vs. non-victimised relationship to life, and how discovering this deep source that is within us all relates to the global crisis we are in.

Meditation and Evolution Podcast – Emergence
by Blake Ludwig → No Comments
This week we kicked off the Becoming section of our Tuesday night Meditation+Evolution programme. The topic was Emergence. As Andrew Cohen describes, “Emergence means creating the conditions for higher potentials that never existed before to enter into time and space”. This week’s podcast centers around a discussion when a gentleman asks Patrick Bryson whether this emergence is actually a new thing, and this opens up a fascinating look at what it really means for us now, and also brings light to the very definition and perspective we have on Culture itself.

A Brief History of Non-Duality
by Blake Ludwig → No Comments
During last Tuesday’s Meditation+Evolution evening, Chris Parish, MD at EnlightenNext UK, gave us an insightful evolutionary view of the history of Non-duality. The most poignant insight he gave is that only in the last few decades has meditation been associated with stress relief. Throughout the history of human civilisation, meditation has always been about the very serious business of Enlightenment. You can listen to our first podcast supporting the Tuesday evening events.
